The cytology report is back. No signs of fungus or bacteria... it is a very aggressive lung cancer that is spreading rapidly. It's unusual to see it in such a young dog. There is nothing more they can do.

This is not a light nor quick decision. So please, no critisism.

There is no point putting this off until he is so racked with pain he can't stand it. As much as this hurts, putting it off for a few more days would be rather selfish on our part.

We are ready. Our wonderful RB girl Rosie, is here to led Sherman to the Rainbow Bridge. (I felt she was here, and Nancy saw her.) Goofy girl, she's SO happy & excited, so happy to please us. Nancy says her little tail is wagging non stop )

Sherman is preparing himself. She could feel the heaviness & discomfort in his chest. He's ready. He will be on his way to the Rainbow Bridge later this evening.

I keep thinking of the line from Little Big Man,
"Today is a good day to die".
And so it is.
